High School Completion

Cascadia offers a high school completion program for adults (anyone 18 and over by
the first day of the quarter) who want to complete requirements to earn a high school
diploma.

If you are 18 years of age and have been a Washington state resident for at least one year, you pay full resident tuition. You must show your driver's
license or Washington state ID as proof of residency. If you have not been a Washington
state resident for at least one year, you pay full nonresident tuition.

If you are at least 19 by the first day of the quarter, you qualify for reduced tuition
through a state waiver.

About the Program

After you submit an application to the college, you meet with an advisor to plan what
classes you will take to complete the requirements for a high school diploma. You
will take Accuplacerplacement tests that determine which classes you take first.

Based on your assessment results, you may take college level classes that count toward
both your high school diploma and a college degree.

You must earn a 2.0 or higher grade point average (GPA) in each course required for
the diploma, in addition to completing a minimum of 5 credits at Cascadia.

Depending on the date you originally started high school, you may also be required
to meet Washington state requirements.

Pay the Application Fee $30

Once you have applied for admissions and paid the application, then your Student ID
number will be emailed to you.
